CVE-2026-126777: Traccar 3.15 before 6.17.0 Authentication Bypass via Empty LDAP Password
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.
Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Traccar 3.15 before 6.17.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in LdapProvider.login() that fails to reject empty passwords, causing LDAP binds to be performed as unauthenticated binds when LDAP authentication is enabled. Unauthenticated attackers who know a valid username can log in via POST /api/session or HTTP Basic authentication with an empty password against directories that permit unauthenticated binds, obtaining sessions for any account including administrators.

Root cause
Authentication is added route by route instead of being enforced in one place. When a route added later bypasses the shared middleware, the session check never runs for it.
The bug in code
